Just getting back into the flow after our show at Hal's Gallery.  Such a great event and seeing all our friends (vendors and supporters) was the best part! I work really hard at what I do (always have) but it is even harder now with my tremor, cramping, balance and structural (skeletal) issues. That ruptured disc gives me heck but I know people a ( Read more... )

Okay...so I have good intentions but I am a liar.  I said I would not and could not cook a feast for Thanksgiving. Then I changed my mind (my perogative) and decided on a pared down menu and by the time push came to shove...I ended up cooking for two days anyway.  All went well but the pies...they were a disaster and I have never had that happen ( Read more... )
